Peaches

We are very lucky to live only a few miles from a orchard. Late in August the peaches ripened and was the best tasting I have ever had. I actually bought a total of 260lbs of peaches, not all of them was for me though... I took 60 lbs to my great aunt.

I also cleaned and froze 60 lbs for my grandmother, and 20lbs for a aunt. So that left me with 120lbs for myself. I used 20lbs that I made into freezer jam, 1 batch I made sugar free for my grandpa.

The rest I pealed, sliced and froze in quart ziplock bags. 

I do this every year, We love peach cobbler, a peach dessert I make using left over Jasmine rice, and just eating plain ol' peaches. I also make a sugar free peach pie every holiday for my sweet grandpa.

FYI to do this type of food prepping takes ALOT of freezer space, we have 2 very large deep freezers and two refrigerators. They are always full...

We also buy half a beef every year around the county fair time. We pray every year that it will supply us with enough beef for the year. We save so much money to buy our meat this way, and we also know they was not treated horrible while they was alive, nor was they given all those antibiotics and steroids.
